For those who have read Crossed Paths, you'll see some of my favorite OC's playing here too.

Those who haven't, please do and please let me a quick review! I'm trying to get back to that fic ;)

Skye had a favorite spot to rest whenever she felt terribly tired, and that spot was inside Grant's arms.

But Ward was on a mission, which left her all alone hugging his pillow until he was back, which was so not fair.

She missed his natural body heat, the powerful tone of his beating heart, the way his arm would go around her waist when he pulled her closer to his body, his nose burrowing on her hair. She sighed loudly hoping the current TV show playing in the background would lull her to sleep.

It wasn't too much later when she felt a small fur body curled up at her feet and knowing Doc, she knew soon enough another tiny body might join her as well.

"Mommy?" Skye heard Allie call, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Come here, pumpkin, Doc is already keeping me some company ." Skye pulled the covers up and snuggled with her child, hearing Allie's complain as a yawn escaped her pouty lips, "Daddy is late…"

"Yeah, babe, I miss him too." She murmured, running her fingers through her daughter's locks.

It had been a long path, but this now was their life, their forever, Grant had been scared and overjoyed when he had learned that Alicia was indeed his, that he didn't have to ask for her love or Skye's because it was already there just waiting for him.

That morning, when Grant entered the room he shared with his girlfriend and the mother of his baby girl, he wasn't all that surprised to find that both his girls were sleeping on his side of the bed and Doc, that strange but amazing cat was curled up behind Allie's back.

Grant took off his shoes, jacket and went for a quick shower, upon his return Doc had opened his eyes and stretched his body towards Grant's hand, wishing for attention, he rubbed the cat's ears and kissed Allie's hair, he then lied down and hugged Skye, kissing her neck gently, then he pushed aways the stray locks from Allie's face, marveling at his child's beauty and innocence.

Skye stirred, burying herself into his embrace and warmth. "Welcome back, robot." she welcomed, her voice raspy in a whisper as she entwined her hand with his over their child's body.

"I love you both, so much." He said in reply, hiding his in the curve of her neck and dropping another kiss before he too lulled by his family's breathing were fast asleep.
